I'm not able to paint any custom paintings on TS2U

<< < (2/2)

Theraven:
"create custom painting" in the pie menu is a Pets feature. You can do it without Pets, but it requires a bit of cheating.

VII. Bug: Implementing your own picture
---------------------------------------

Note #1: This is using “The Sims 2” V1.0, no guarantee it’ll work with any
         patches that get released.

Note #2: A picture editor is stongly advised in order to get the most benefit
         out of this exploit. I currently use Paint Shop Pro.


**********
The Steps:
**********

1.  Once the option becomes available, choose the "Paint Still Life" option
    after clicking on the art easel.

2.  The game should automatically pause for you to take the sceenshot.
    Whatever you do, DO NOT unpause the game.

3.  Once the game pauses for the screenshot, press the letter 'c' to take the
    picture.
    (Make sure to still keep the game paused).

4.  Minimize "The Sims 2" by pressing Ctrl+Esc (or possibly Alt+Tab)

5.  Find the screenshot you are supposed to paint. It can be found in
    ".../My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Storytelling/Snapshot.bmp"
    (without the quotes).

6.  Open this file with a picture-editing program of your choice.

7.  Now comes the fun part....tweak that picture to your heart's content. You
    can do whatever you want to it (including overwrite it with another
    picture), but you must keep it as a bitmap file with the same file name
    (snapshot.bmp). The new modified picture will be the picture your sim will
    paint. Though not mandatory, it is strongly recommend to keep
    snapshot.bmp's resolution at its default (The default resolution for
    snapshot.bmp varies depending on the resolution of the game. For example,
    if you play at 1152X864, the picture has a width of 177 and a height of
    307. If you play at 800X600, however, the picture has a width of 255 and a
    height of 442)

8.  Save and overwrite the old snapshot.bmp with the new modified one.

9.  Maximize "The Sims 2".
 
10. Unpause the game.

11. Watch your sim paint the picture you wanted!

12. Once completed, treat it however you wish. The game sees it as just a
    normal painting.
